What is a Coaching Squad?
Coaching Squads are a small group of 5-8 coaches who meet weekly for ~30 minutes a week to discuss high interest topics, give and receive feedback, discover new ideas, and thrive with the support of community.
Squads create a supportive environment for conversation while helping coaches focus on challenges at hand and identify actionable solutions.

How does it work?
Coaching Squads are designed with instructional coaches in mind. Meet at the same day and time for 30 minutes each week. Squads run for 6 weeks.
Squads are structured around three types of meetings:
1. Kickoff- Welcome and introduction meeting.
2. Crucial Convos- Common topics decided on by the squad to discuss in depth. (Navigating Complex Coaching Scenarios, Enhancing Your Coaching Resilience, Overcoming Imposter Syndrome in Coaching, etc)
3. Reflection- A dedicated time to reflect on what we're taking away from squads and what are plans for coaching are moving forward!
Squad Mod(erator)s Needed!
What will a Squad Mod do?
Squad Mod(erator)s serve as the facilitator of their squad. Their main objective is to create a positive, inclusive, and safe place for coaches in the squad to share their experiences, ideas, and thoughts.
No experience is needed to be a squad mod! All squad mods will receive a squad mod guide with everything you need to know to run a successful squad. We'll provide detailed instructions, starting questions, and helpful pointers to make your job a breeze.

As a Squad Mod, you're responsible for...
1. Setting up your squad's recurring virtual meeting. (Zoom, Meet, Teams, etc.)
2. Adjusting the Squad's schedule of Crucial Convos.
